Pottery Made By People.

Every step — mixing clay, forming, finishing, glazing, painting, firing, packing, and shipping — is completed by artisans in our Virginia studio. Each piece of pottery goes through at least eight pairs of hands before finding its way into yours.

We're makers at heart and create products that are both beautiful and functional.

With great love for the outdoors, we incorporate nature into our designs and protect the Earth through sustainable practices.
